Words, Words, Words

Words,words,words,
I love words
the sound of them
the feel of them
the taste of words.

Indubitably, now isn’t that
an awesome word
say it slowly
in-du-bi-ta-bly
let it roll around your mouth
like a tart red jellybean.

Abscond, what a great word
there was a time when I
felt like someone had
absconded with my life
but I stole it back from them.

Flabbergasted always
makes me think of a
seagull just missing her
grab at the french-fry on
the sidewalk.

There are words that
others use like
chérie, or hin,
or gobsmacked – now
there’s a great word
don’t you agree?

When all else fails
wow ’em with
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
can  you spell it?
“i. t.”
gotcha!!
